Most rigs manufactured these days have mode B keying. Most paddles sold are
dual lever and even with a single lever paddle, A or B makes a big
difference. I use a single lever paddle and mode B to key my Omni C. With
mode A, I make much mistakes. Single lever paddles require fewer finger
motions when you consider the entire alphabet, not just C and Q.
